Property Manager

Property management at the senior level is a craft that blends financial discipline, team leadership, and resident experience into one daily practice. This Property Manager role at Bozzuto in Washington, DC puts all three of those skills to work simultaneously, and it rewards people who are genuinely strong across all of them, not just one or two.

Skills This Role Demands From Day One

You'll need a real command of P&L management. Bozzuto expects you to own the financial performance of the property, which means reading and interpreting operating statements, managing to budget, and producing accurate financial and operational reports for clients. If you've managed NOI targets and understand the relationship between occupancy, concessions, and net revenue, that foundation matters here.

On the leadership side, this isn't a role where you manage from a distance. Bozzuto is explicit that no task is below you. You're expected to step in, assist your team, and model the behaviors you want to see. That kind of hands-on leadership style is something you either already practice or you don't. It's hard to fake at this level.

Strong competitive market awareness is also a genuine requirement. Washington, DC is a dense, competitive rental market with constant new inventory coming online across neighborhoods like NoMa, Navy Yard, and Capitol Riverfront. Knowing how to read traffic patterns, adjust positioning, and advise on marketing strategy isn't optional. It's part of running the asset.

• 5 or more years of experience in property management, hospitality, or retail leadership
• Four-year degree or equivalent hands-on experience at a comparable level
• Demonstrated track record managing revenue, budgets, and client relationships
• Proficiency with Yardi or similar property management software
• DC Property Manager license, or the willingness to obtain one within 90 days
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

What This Role Builds

Managing a Bozzuto community gives you exposure to third-party client reporting, which is a skill set that transfers directly into regional or portfolio-level roles. You're not just running an asset for an owner-operator. You're delivering financial transparency and performance accountability to a client, and that experience reads differently on a resume than straight in-house management.

You'll also develop your team coaching ability in a structured way. Bozzuto invests in professional development, and as the property manager, you're expected to drive that growth for your direct reports. People who sharpen this skill here often move into multi-site or regional manager roles with a clearer sense of how to build teams, not just manage them.

What Distinguishes Strong Candidates Here

The schedule includes one weekend per month with two weekdays off in exchange. That's a reasonable trade, but candidates who struggle with weekend availability tend to find it more disruptive than expected. Strong applicants come in clear-eyed about it.

Beyond schedule fit, the candidates who stand out are those who can hold a financial conversation with a client and then turn around and motivate a leasing associate in the same afternoon. The range of what this role requires in a single day is wide. Bozzuto's culture leans into that range rather than narrowing it, so the people who thrive here tend to find that variety energizing rather than exhausting.

The salary range for this position runs from $97,000 to $107,000, with additional bonus opportunities. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement.
